Blueberry-Enriched Diet Protects Rat Heart from Ischemic Damage
OBJECTIVES to assess the cardioprotective properties of a blueberry enriched diet (BD). BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a major role in ischemia-related myocardial injury. The attempts to use synthetic antioxidants to block the detrimental effects of ROS have produced mixed or negative results precipitating the interest in natural products. Blueberries are readily available prod...
متن کاملNMDA receptor dependence of the input specific NMDA receptor-independent LTP in the hippocampal CA1 region.
An important characteristic of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampal CA1 region is that it is specific for those synapses which are active during the induction event. This input specificity is commonly attributed to the location and properties of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor channel. Experiments using strong high-frequency orthodromic activation have suggested that input-s...
متن کاملForskolin-induced LTP in the CA1 hippocampal region is NMDA receptor dependent.
Chemically induced long-term potentiation (cLTP) could potentially work by directly stimulating the biochemical machinery that underlies synaptic plasticity, bypassing the need for synaptic activation. Previous reports suggested that agents that raise cAMP concentration might have this capability. We examined the cLTP induced in acute slices by application of Sp-cAMPS or a combination of the ad...
متن کاملNMDA receptor-dependent regulation of miRNA expression and association with Argonaute during LTP in vivo
microRNAs (miRNAs) are major regulators of protein synthesis in the brain. A major goal is to identify changes in miRNA expression underlying protein synthesis-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity such as long-term potentiation (LTP). Previous analyses focused on changes in miRNA levels in total lysate samples. Here, we asked whether changes in total miRNA accurately reflect changes in the am...
متن کاملSwitching off LTP: mGlu and NMDA receptor-dependent novelty exploration-induced depotentiation in the rat hippocampus.
Both electrically induced synaptic long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression have been extensively studied as models of the cellular basis of learning and memory mechanisms. Recently, considerable interest has been generated by the possibility that the activity-dependent persistent reversal of previously established synaptic LTP (depotentiation) may play a role in the time- and stat...
